D&D Products Inc. will design and develop an in-situ floating debris capture device. The device will be located at the edge of a stream, canal or similar waterbody. Floating booms will be attached to the device, and the waterway current will guide debris along the booms into the gathering head. The gathering head will direct debris into the hopper and feed it onto a conveying mechanism. The convey ...

As the single largest consumer of materials and energy use worldwide, the construction sector remains a prime target for materials reuse reform. (Krausmann et al., 2009; De Ia Rue du Can & Price, 2008). Construction and ongoing operation of the built environment extracts a significant amount of resources -- and on an ongoing basis. According to the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), buildings ac ...

This SBIR Phase II project aims to further advance the progress made during phase I toward the development of a portable handheld detector for real-time onsite detection of sulfur dioxide (SO2). SO2 is an air pollutant, which can adversely affect respiratory and cardiovascular health in humans. Onsite monitoring of SO2 would enable real-time detection of chronic and acute exposure to this toxic ga ...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have emerged as a pervasive and persistent threat to drinking water throughout the world. Called ‘forever chemicals” because their high stability leads PFAS to build up in the environment. PFAS accumulates in the blood from exposures and is associated with various cancers and other illnesses. There is an urgent need for a technology that can both remo ...

This SBIR Phase I project aims to develop an affordable handheld tester to meet the need for real-time, onsite detection of sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the air. The handheld tester integrates a novel micro-sized sensor chip with a portable digital meter for direct readout of testing results. The sensor chip is built upon a sensing platform with graphene-tin oxide nanoparticle hybrids as the sensing ma ...

This project will develop a prototype of GoManage, a self-management app for students with disabilities to choose a target goal, track progress towards that goal, and earn virtual tokens as they go. Participants will include students from Kindergarten to grade 8 who have extensive language support needs (for example, students with autism or an intellectual disability) and less extensive language s ...

This small business will develop an open-source toolkit that states and networks can use to calculate metrics that support and inform decision making by postsecondary students. This toolkit (TEAPOT) will include several components to support implementation including data requirements, a field guide with instructional materials and technical tools to help partners to securely and ethically combine ...
